lo que desvirtúa la argumentación


Explanation:
Desvirtuar is probably the only word not given as a translation in the ProZ glossaries, but is a common ESP/ ENG translation bugbear for those of us who prefer our acquaintances to be of 'easy virtue'.

Example sentence(s):
  • “Errores que se cometen por ignorancia o voluntad, que terminan por desvirtuar la finalidad de la argumentación”
  • desvirtuar v. tr. y prnl. *Quitar la fuerza* o virtud de una cosa con tantos invitados de última hora se desvirtuó el acto.
